Cut the rope to the length that you need. Rope and twine are generally sold in increments much larger than what you’ll need to tie yourself up, and you’ll be able to do a cleaner job if you buy them cut to size. If you don’t want the rope to chafe your wrists, consider avoiding a thin, smooth rope. The thicker and rougher the rope, the more you risk hurting your wrists, cotton clothesline is best for beginners. Some people are allergic to nylon, so make sure that the rope won’t irritate your skin.

Try wrapping the rope around the area with one hand, then using the other to grab the rope and help out. Tie the ends of the rope with a tight double-knot bow. Consider puffing your chest or stomach out as you pull the rope tight and tie it. This way, all you need to do to loosen the rope is empty your lungs of air and make your torso more compact. You can also flex your arm muscles to make the wrap slightly larger than your natural form. To escape this trap, squeeze the arm that you used to tie the knot. This should loosen the rope so that you can slip out of the wrap.
